Chapter 25: [Side Story] Opening boxes

The reward boxes for clearing the stage appeared in front of me.

There were two R-rank boxes and three N-rank boxes. 

‘All I got was a weird necklace from the EX-rank box I opened last time.’ 

I placed my hand on my neck. The necklace I got back then was around my neck. 

What did it say again? Something about how proceeding further into the story would allow me to use it? 

‘Well, I don’t know what great feature it holds…” 

I want something that could be of help to me right now. I want to get something that will be useful right away in the next stage. 

I placed the three N-rank boxes on my bed. 

Stage reward boxes mainly contain consumable items and material items, and rarely complete equipment. 

Even if complete equipment comes out, it will most likely have a low rank. There’s a 99% chance that equipment coming from N-rank boxes will be N-rank as well. 

‘The chance of obtaining equipment of higher rank isn’t 0% though!” 

Who knows? I might have crazy enough luck to get a piece of SSR-ranked equipment from it! 

I quickly opened all three N-rank boxes simultaneously. 

“Did I get it?!” 

A bright light leaked from the box with an open lid. Just by looking at the color, you could roughly tell the rank of the item. Let’s see, what color is it?! 

Gray! 

Gray. 

And gray… 

All three of them were gray, which means they were all N-rank items. 

“Tch…” 

As always. I was dumb to get my hopes up on N-rank boxes. 

I muttered as I checked the items. Let’s see. 

[Rewards] 

– Advanced HP Potion 

– Advanced HP Potion 

– Ice attribute enchantment scroll 

All three of them were consumables. Had I gotten material items then I would’ve been able to use them to craft things. 

‘Well, at least they’re useful consumables.’ 

Advanced potions have a much superior effect than normal potions. They’re fairly effective when used in emergencies. 

Enchantment scrolls are also useful items. Upon usage, they add an attribute to a weapon for an entire stage. 

If I could use this on Demian’s crossbow… Then it would prove to be very effective. 

‘I’ll store these for later.’ 

I turned my gaze to the R-rank boxes. I’m going to open them one by one. 

I opened my first box. 

“What did I get?!”Flash! 

A blue light leaked through the cracks in the open box. 

Oh, nice! R-rank item! 

[Standard Advanced Magic Core (R)] 

“It’s a material item…” 

I muttered as I didn’t get what I wanted, but a magic core is the rarest item out of the material items. 

Magic cores are a key material for high-end equipment and are usually used to make high-rank weapons or artifacts 

‘I’ve collected three magic cores so far.’ 

I checked my inventory. 

The first one was the ‘Magic Core of the Black Spider Queen (SSR)’, which I acquired from the tutorial stage. 

And the second one was the ‘Magic Core of the Specter Knight (SR)’, which I got today from Stage 1. 

And the last one was this, ‘Standard Advanced Magic Core (R)’. 

‘When I start crafting items, they will prove to be very useful…’ 

I stored them back in the inventory, then held the last R-rank box in my hand. Without big hopes, I opened it. 

Click!Immediately after, a brilliant golden light erupted from the cracks of the opened box. 

“Huh?” 

I opened my eyes widely. 

A golden light? An SSR-rank item?! Am I so drunk that I’m starting to see things?! 

Ta-dah-!Then, along with a loud fanfare sound effect, a pair of gloves came out of the box, sprinkling dazzling gold. These were black leather gloves studded with metal on the knuckle. 

“Oh my golden Jesus Christ, muh lord!” 

I was so surprised that I jumped on the bed. 

An SSR-rank item came out, not to mention—it was completed?! 

Flustered, I quickly grabbed the glove with both hands and checked the name and options. 

What is it?! 

[Lucky Strike (SSR) Lv. 7]
